How did you get into wargaming?Age 12; when i walked by the local GW and saw the cool painted Minis in the Window I got interested, but couldn't afford the minis/paint. Month went by, went camping to Spain with my Family, Neighbour at the Campinglot was Painting Minis in Front of his Camper xD Got very excited. When he noticed how much i wanted to get into the hobby he gave me some of his old High Elves. (like 5 Spearmen) I painted them up with this horrible Revell Color. xD Addicted till then, but with big brakes in between.

How did you get into Tau?At first i was only into Fantasy, 40k seemed very dark and Gory. Played the Elves till first big break at age 16. Found my Minis 2 Years later, not interested in Fantasy anymore --> started collecting/playing 40k Orcs for 3 Years. Second big break --> Always loved the Whole Mecha thing (Ghost in the Shell, Mechwarrior, Gundam, Escaflowne... Scifi in General)Got back into 40k last November. Not being held back by budget problems anymore but still not agreeing to pay the amount of money GW wants me to, i got some kind of addicted to finding cheap ebay deals. So here i am sitting on about 5k Points of T'au which i acquired for about a quarter of GW prices, painting, stripping and remodelling my cheap ebay minis

What would be your second piece of advice (after "read the freakin' rules") to a new Tau player?1. try out ebay 2. Use the nice Armybuilder Tools like Onlinecodex (it's in german though), Battlescribe or the nice Excel sheet from a nice fella of this Forum3. Play a lot of small Games in your first Months into the Hobby4. BATCHPAINTING5. Always prime Black , Spray paint white over it for nice/easy Shadows on your Minis and nice coverage
